News Corp., the global media empire controlled by Chairman Rupert Murdoch, reported an 11 percent increase in fiscal first-quarter profits.

Strong results in its film and cable network businesses offset weakness in television, newspapers and book publishing. (News Corp. owns The Post.)

The cable networks, which include Fox News and FX, posted revenue of $1.61 billion and operating income of $495 million, a 10.5 percent and 41 percent rise over the $1.45 billion and $350 million recorded last year, respectively.

Fox News continued its domination of the cable network news competition, posting its highest-ever quarterly profit.

The strong box office performance of “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs” led to a 21 percent jump in movie revenue to $1.52 billion from $1.26 billion and a 56 percent increase in profit to $391 million from $251 million.

Overall, News Corp. posted income of $571 million, or 22 cents a share, versus $515 million, or 20 cents a share, for a year prior. Revenue fell 4.1 percent to $7.2 billion from $7.51 billion a year ago.
